Like the title of the blog says,,I personally have "preferences" of experiences,like I prefer or like certain experiences to others.Like for example,before I was in the throes of a busy workday and every time I tried to accomplish my own things, I was crimped for time.I found that annoying. But now, that's behind me,and I have "me time" to catch up on my own things. So I would tell you I feel calmer, and "prefer" this experience to the other one. Like. if someone is in a traffic jam, and worse, at a time when they have an appt. to make,and they're borderline late...compared to "cruising" along under no pressure...well sure I "prefer" the cruising along.If a Christian is at the funeral of an unsaved loved one,and knows in all likelihood they died unsaved and are in Hell, as compared to, ,say,after being in financial problems and they somehow gain enough money to bail them out...which would you "prefer?"Uh huh...Now then...most Christians I hear saying we should be nothing but deliriously happy every minute of every day,does the Bible say that? Well, what I DID read in the Bible is, "To everything there is a season.A time to rejoice, A TIME TO MOURN.A time to laugh and A TIME TO CRY."Now that doesn't sound in sync with what a lot of Christians say, that it's "sinful" to not be deliriously happy every minute of every day.Also, if someone "pretends "to be happy when they actually don't like the way something has gone, wouldn't that be ,like living a lie?So is it a sin to "prefer" one experience to another?Well, according to, "To everything there is a season", which includes some negative emotions, it would seem that we can have "preferences".Otherwise we'd just be a bunch of mindless zombies. What do you think?Does having preferences make you sinful?Like, if you bang your finger real hard with a hammer, are you more likely to say "Ow" or go around telling everyone banging your finger was the most wonderful experience you ever had?Preferences, preferences...If you get an oil change, would you rather it stay at an oil change or that they tell you you need to rebuild the transmission for $4000?...would you rather go the dentist and he says nothing needed, or he says you need a root canal and hes out of novocaine?Preferences...
